If you check out GothGardening's 9/30 post here, you will see she is having a Halloween contest! Sounds like fun, so this post is my entry. :-)
I don't usually use shovels, not even for gardening; they're usually too big and unwieldy for me to handle. I like to use a trowel whenever possible. However, shovels can be very handy for many things:
They work as makeshift grave "stones" when you have a sudden need for them. (This frequently happens to goths, dontcha know...)
And they also make excellent boundary markers. Of course, then you can't use them for anything else, but still, it's impressive looking, and keeps people from falling in the wrong grave. (If that's not YOUR name on the gravestone, don't fall in!)
However, I think my favorite use for shovels would be...:
Sending pictures like this to an ex, either your own or someone else's!! Why not share the love, mwaaa-hahahahaha!!!
So, did I win????? ;-)
I am laughing so hard! I totally want that last sign too. Ha ha ha! I can't imagine how someone can top this!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope they can't!! Hehehe, my work here is done. :-)
DeleteI am also laughing my socks off, great post :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! :-)
DeleteSend your favorite pic to an ex and I'd say that you really got the message across. Whew!
ReplyDeleteHehehehe!! Of course, you would also include a picture of them in the box when taking the pic, to be sure they understood!
DeleteMy ex-husband was extremely lucky that I was not a vindictive person back then. I'm not HORRIBLY vindictive now, but definitely more so than I was then!
Ha ha. Lovely post! The fence with old shovels is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThanks! And I agree, I don't think I would have thought of using shovels for a fence!
DeleteThey are also great for burying the undead. I am finally reading the last in Yvonne Woon's 'Dead Beautiful' books. You should check them out if you want to know what I mean. They are pretty damn awesome!
ReplyDeleteOoooooh, I'm definitely going to have to check those out, thanks!
DeleteThe only problem with burying the undead is that they don't STAY buried... at least, that's what I hear.
